[lbo-talk] "Cooling It! No Hair Shirt Solutions to Global Warming" now available as a free download

[Gar Lipow]

"Cooling It: No Hair Shirt Solutions to Global Warming" an optimistic
book about a gloomy subject - the need to reduce fossil fuel use to
fight global warming - is now available as a free download at
http://www.nohairshirst.com. It argues that we have technological
substitutes available for oil, gas and coal now - at market prices
comparable to those we currently pay.  Neither cost nor technical
barriers prevent drastic and speedy reductions in greenhouse
emissions; slowing global warming is a structural, institutional,
social, and political -- not a technical one.

Leading experts such as Patrick Mazza (Reseach Director for Climate
Solutions), Dr. Joseph Romm, (Executive Director of The Center for
Energy & Climate Solutions), Eric Heitz, (President of The Energy
Foundation) all recommend this book for its careful research,
technical detail and compelling writing. If you want to know how we
can increase efficiency enough to buy more expensive renewables, and
still keep overall energy costs the same, download a copy. (Print
copies are also available at a reasonable cost, but the files are
designed to easily let you print your own.)
